I try to connect to the X server from antother computer by using export DISPLAY it crash.

every Xorg i've tried does that if you don't use open/fail as seen below. why don't ask me (there is no fail in the logs) 00000000000000000000000 welcome to why you should be running telnet so you can get it back ! sometimes blind typeing gets it back alt-leftarrow (linux key) change to prev virt term ctrl-alt-backpace (xorg - but changed recently?) close down Xorg after you do the above you may be at virtual terminal and not see plain text. if that is so blind type: $chvt 1 $vbetool vbemode set 3 $vbetool dpms on if that didn't work and your telnet'ed in. keep trying you'll most likely get it back. --------------------- every Xorg i've tried does that if you don't use open/fail as seen below. why don't ask me (there is no fail in the logs) that's right. your logs say mouse ok, you get black screen, but mouse is ok, but when you allow mouseopen fail: you see the bright shiny login Section "ServerFlags" # use ctrl-alt-div to grab keyboard back Option "AllowDeactivateGrabs" "on" Option "AllowClosedownGrabs" "on" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" EndSection ------------------------------ be careful to be sure you have right /usr/share/X11/xkb/ if your no X wiz kid, you need to install an X login suite such as xdm-options, kdm, gdm, (others). which set file perms, start services, so that X login is running that's right: if you try to run X as root without stuff setup: expect a black screen ----------------------------- really this isn't a bug posting. you didn't show your logs, your version, machine your running, anything you've gone through to resolve there are many linux forums to ask new questions leave bug tracking system for real repeatable bugs, ones that are not simply due to lack of reading and or participating in online discussions
if your compiling then 1) at runtime it needs a T symbol (see nm(1) ) and crashes without a coherent message 2) you linked but some .o were out of date. or you installed into a 1/2 and 1/2 old and new directory. (ie, mv /usr/local /usr/local.old ; # now install all ) 3) you have an off-brand video card (likely not reason why) try 'vesa' driver see if that works after that it , in Xorg.0.log you should see keyboard and mouse if you have no keyboard mouse after video driver, i'd guess it crashed upon opening, which tells you nearly what is missing.
Please file a new bug if you still see issues with 1.20.
